2D slicing in my 2D array/Grid struct (which just holds a 1D 
array under the hood):

```d
auto grid = Grid!char(6, 4, '.');
grid[2..4, 1..3] = '#';
writeln(grid);
```
```
[......]
[..##..]
[..##..]
[......]
```

I enjoy the gameplay loop of "Write complex structure code with 
ultra-simple usage that abstracts away all that complexity when 
you need to actually do something with it, so your main() looks 
clean as a whistle".

Also, easy UFCS templates:

```d
SomeObject someObj = ...
SomeStruct someStruct = ...
// Writes all aggregate member-value pairs without the need of 
builtin toString methods
writeln(someObj.toStringer);
writeln(someStruct.toStringer(recursive:true));
```
